I guess its how far back you want to draw the date line? Gibraltar was British before the US was American but I can’t see many people suggesting the US should pass sovereignty to the native Indians. The hypocrisy of Spain in relation to Gibraltar when it has two Spanish enclaves in North Africa is hard to reconcile. Surely she should give these back to Morocco before trying to raise the issue of Gibraltar? Perhaps the UK should give Gibraltar back to the Morocco not Spain as the Moors inhabited Gibraltar for 500 years before the Spanish. Or perhaps I should study more tax and all would become clear 🙂Reply

The clear anachronism is now UtrechtAnd tit for tax is excerpionally childish – as I suspect you know
Spain does also not operate tax havens
So your arguments are pretty hollow
Ceuta and Melilla are tax havens. 50% the normal corporate and income tax rates….
Does his knowledge ever start?
Plus you get special deals on tax for 3 years if you go and work in Spain…
The Vigo and Valencia Ports are tax havens, tariffs and VAT aren’t due until the goods leave the ports. So most importing companies have offices and whatehouses inside it and only have to pay taxes after they sell whatever they imported
And how did he react to this being pointed out to him?
Did bannination ensue?
And, the sheer cheek of it – if your tax rate is not to Ritchie’s liking, he would remove your right to self-determination.
He prefers sneering and abuse to fact checking.
Spain also acts as despot over a little bit of Portuguese territory.
Canary Islands anyone?
And Spain should fuck off out it’s occupied French territory.

That clear anachronism that is now Utrecht – would that be the same Utrecht as was the home of Dr. Strabismus (whom God preserve) ?
I can’t believe that he would have got up to any dodgey tax business – and who is this Murphey fellow anyway?
“tit for tax”
And there he has the ideal title for his autobiography!

God, imagine how tedious that book would be.

I don’t think he’s got the muscle.

I’m confused. Is this HMRC’s new PAYE system for hookers?
Craig Murray comes across as a tool doesn’t he…. And he used to be an ambassador! Wasn’t intelligence one of the criteria used for selecting ambassadors?
From his reasoning Monaco invades French territory, San Marino and the Vatican invade Italian territory…. What a prick!
Andrew K wins the daily internet, nolo contendere.
Craig Murray comes across as a tool doesn’t he
Does he ever! He made a complete prick of himself as Ambassador in Uzbekistan when he went around mouthing off about the Uzbek government – something an Ambassador is really *not* supposed to do. So he got fired for it, and then went complaining to anyone who would listen about how stressful his life was and how his health had suffered in Tashkent, failing to point out that his wife and kids had left him because he’d taken up with Uzbek woman half his age.
